Elementary students who
enjoy learning about robots will appreciate this new title in The History of
Technology series. Written in an
easy-to-comprehend manner, the book provides students with an understanding of
robots from the late 1950s to the present, with the robots continuing to change
and become more advanced. From early ancient automatons in the 1700s to robot
stories, games, films, industrial robots, robot explorers, walking robots,
medical robots, robot games and sports, domestic working robots, drones,
humanoids and androids, the author covers the changes in the use of robots with
advanced technology. In the future, our everyday lives may involve humanoids
and androids assisting us with tasks and household jobs.
The author includes color photographs, interesting facts, a glossary of terms, recommended books, a special code to use on FactHound, and an index.
For schools who participate in Accelerated Reader, an existing test is available for students to use (AR Quiz # 190808). The title would make a good addition to an elementary collection for casual reading and reports.
